Suddenly, the wind in the forest picked up, bending the bamboo as thick as an arm and blowing the wooden door of the thatched hut open with a creak. Shen Youan almost cried out!
She stood up, sword in hand, preparing to close the door, while inwardly cursing Chu Yuan to the core.
It's all my aunt's fault for making decisions on her own; that's why she's suffering along with her...
